My personality

Why I need a new home

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Ruger belonged to my dad who passed away recently. She is very sweet & would be perfect for an active senior looking for well-behaved companionship. She is well mannered, gentle, very loyal & super smart. She is a sensitive soul & would do well with gentle correction while learning the rules of a new home.

Ruger likes going to the dog park, hiking & walks. She is a dream to walk on a leash but also does well off-leash on wilderness trails. I believe she may also have experience walking next to her human riding a bike.

She is completely house trained, doesnt chew things, doesnt get on furniture, is trained to ride on the floor in a vehicle, knows commands like sit & lay down among others, will pee on command & has gone through training to be a therapy dog (although I dont know if she has any graduation certificate).

Ruger is friendly when meeting new people, gets along with kitties, but doesnt have experience with young children. She may do better as the only dog in a household.
